[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Another Estate Find

My siblings and I were going through family stuff last weekend. I had turned this up with a plow back in '80 or '81. It's been awhile since I'd seen it.

Bayonet made at Rock Island Arsenal for a M1917 or 1903, it looks like. Or both.

Probably for a 1903 I think the 1917 took the enfield bayonet

I believe it's a M1905 manufactured in 1918. Originally for the Springfield, later used on the Garand. Sorry for the poor pics.

The original 16"ers are hard to find. Obviously this one is in rather poor condition.....

no the Enfield doesn't fit the 1917.

I believe it's a bayonet like the one in this pic.

Cool find; mount it on a nice piece of wood and hang it on the wall.

Cool. I'd scour ebay for a pair of similar-condition handles. Make it complete and don't use "prettier" handles than the blade.Awesome find.

I believe the 1917 took the P-14 Enfield pattern bayonet which also was used for our military pump shotguns, again IFRC.
